    I thought Sony had a contract to make physical releases of the Disney material.

      From what I can gather, they’re only discontinuing sale of blank writable discs? I imagine they don’t sell very well.

        I didnt even know computer bluray drives existed.

        I’ve never, ever seen one advertised.

        edit Several hours later edit/clarification.

        I knew about basic bluray drives for like…watching movies and shit on.

        I just didnt know they ever created Bluray R or RW drives or media. I’d have bought the fuck out of it if I had known (and it wasnt stupidly priced)
